Edward must however be having a good laugh at the fact that he completely bamboozled many photographs, journalists and military commentators this weekend.

A number of photos credited Edward as Harry until they were made aware of their mistake. Several commentators even talked about Harry role in Afganistan while they were actually talking but Edward.
One member of the TA were walked pass the cenotarph has noted that he was shocked as he believed it was William at first that was saluting them at Horse Guards untill he met him later. He noted that Edward "looks 20 years younger with a hat on, flawless skin, no winkles or blemishs. Just a bit pale. He looks like he just started shaving." :)

Every programme here correctly identified Edward, apart from anything else at each of the events where he was photographed, they were given the attendees beforehand.

I am truly puzzled by your report from a TA member, he would have seen both William and Edward in attendance and known the different cap badge and rank insignia. Contrary to the commonly held belief, TA members are not thick and are fully trained up members of the forces. The RF had all retired into Whitehall before the march past and unless the TA members were in uniform, they would neither have given nor recieved a salute from an officer in uniform.

The TA marched pass him at horse guards ? possible before or after the centarph ceremony. He was the only member of the RF there along with the minister of defense. I am currently looking for the blog that reports it. BBC World was among the group that said he was Harry, when the Duke of Kent was laying his flowers they corrected themselves.

It must be another blog as this one you have given does not mention this.

It is certainly a weird blog and as you know, the salute is given to the monument but unless the participients are in uniform complete with headgear (and some of them are), a salute should not be given nor received.

No matter, but I would be interested to read of someone who became confused between William and Edward or Harry and Edward, IMO they look nothing alike.

I doubt it is any sort of achievement. Apparently all the Duke of Edinburgh's partonages will be moving to other royals. He is getting along in years and need to scale down that is all. I expect the other royals to also pick up several ones - no doubt Charles is already petitioning for the World Wildlife Fund.

Not announced simply implied.
Due to the impending global financial woes, the Queen has order all the members of the royal family to cut back on all expenditure and appearances of extravagence. Everything from travel expenses to clothing allowances will be reduced.
I don't think that the royal family will be celebrating any other milestones this years - besides Edward and Sophie's anniversary.
